USING A WEIGHTLIFTING BELT TO DEADLIFT.

Will a weightlifting belt help you lift more?

Absolutely. Many lifters see a 5-15% improvement in their deadlift when using a belt. The belt provides additional core support, helping you maintain proper form and reduce the risk of injury. Give it a go and see your results. Find out more about what a weight lifting belt does.

At what weight should you wear a belt for deadlifts?

While there's no set rule, a good guideline is to start using a belt when you're lifting around 1.5 times your body weight. This is when the extra support can make a noticeable difference in your performance.

Will a belt stop my back from rounding when deadlifting?

No, a belt won't stop your back from rounding. Rounding your upper back is normal during heavy deadlifts. However, a belt can help you maintain tightness in your core, which can enhance overall stability.

DEADLIFT WITH DEADLIFT SOCKS.

Do deadlift socks help you lift more?

They won’t make you lift more, but they will protect your shins from the bar and help you lift closer to the floor compared to wearing shoes. Deadlifting socks with grips enhance your stability and provide a more hygienic and safer lifting experience.

Deadlifting in Socks vs. Shoes

Deadlifting socks have several advantages over shoes. The no-slip design of our socks enhances stability and safety during lifts. They protect your shins from injuries caused by close-contact lifts and reduce the gap between your feet and the floor, allowing for better power transfer.

The snug fit minimises drag and keeps the socks securely in place, providing comfort throughout your workout. Plus, they offer a cleaner and more hygienic alternative to barefoot lifting.

DEADLIFT WITH LIFTING STRAPS

Will lifting straps help you deadlift more?

If your grip is your limiting factor, they will help you squeeze more out of your deadlift. They are great for big weights or sets with high reps deadlifts. When your grip is no longer the limiting factor, you can focus on pulling more weight and achieving better lifts. Lifting straps are particularly useful for max effort lifts and high-rep sets where grip fatigue can become an issue.

When should you use lifting straps for deadlift?

Lifting straps are a valuable tool for any skill level, from beginners to professional level. Like most gym fitness gear, you should avoid becoming over reliant on lifting straps to ensure you don’t weaken your grip strength.
